Abstract

The introduction of new microwave-based technologies such as personal communications systems (PCS), wireless local area networks (WLANs) and the provision to the home and office of broadband services, is focusing the attention of the Australian communications industry on gallium arsenide (GaAs)-based monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). In order to provide a lower risk entry point into MMIC-based applications, the CSIRO has established a design and fabrication capability at its Division of Radiophysics. This paper will discuss millimetre-wave MMICs developed using this capability
